Liverpool v Burnley

I am not sure what is going on with the goalkeeper situation at Liverpool but Simon Mignolet should play for them against Burnley.

If Loris Karius is picked instead, then I think the Clarets will be licking their lips and looking to put a lot of balls into the box, because Karius is not very convincing when it comes to dealing with them.

Liverpool's attacking talent still means they should win this game comfortably but they will have to be on their toes at the back, and be much more solid defensively than they have been of late.

Burnley are well organised and work hard, but you know what to expect from them when they come forward - the outcome on Saturday depends on how well Liverpool deal with that.

Lawro's prediction: 2-0

Non's prediction: 3-1

 

Paul Merson has gone for home win:

Liverpool v Burnley - Saturday, 3pm
It's a must-win game for Liverpool. I know they kept a clean sheet against Arsenal but they are not going to win the league with that defence.

Philippe Coutinho will probably play with Sadio Mane suspended and he can open teams up, but the way Burnley have been playing they should be full of confidence. Their away form has been good and I don't think they need to sit back and wait for Liverpool to break them down. It could be nervy for Liverpool.

PAUL PREDICTS: 2-0 (5/1 with Sky Bet)
